CSSA CROSS COUNTRY - PRIMARY

Last Friday 3 May, GPCC were represented by close to 30 amazing cross-country runners at the Primary CSSA Carnival in Sydney.

The rain stayed away for most of the morning leaving ideal conditions for the runners to compete in their races. After quite a bit of hustling and bustling at the crowded start line, all of our athletes were able to find some open space and complete either the 2km or 3km course.

We had a number of top 20 finishes in races that included well over 100 competitors. In addition, we had some teams finish within the top 5 placings overall which is a huge achievement.

A special mention goes to Chloe B who finished 1st in the 8-12 year girls Multi-class race and as a result has qualified for CIS.

Well done to all the runners and a huge thankyou to Mr Gibbins for managing the team on the day and to the parents for making the trip.

GPCC Sport Teams

We are looking forward to sending our teams to a number of Gala Days and competitions in Primary this year.

Students will have a chance to trial for certain school teams over the coming terms and will need to keep a close eye on the notices and listen out for Assembly announcements for when trials will be held.

The protocol for team selection is as follows:

  • Teams have at least 2-3 trials before final selection.
  • Unfortunately, it is simply not possible for all children who trial to be included in final teams. It is not uncommon for up to 60 students to trial for a team that only has 10 spots available. Due to these limited spots, it is highly likely that students will miss out on making the team. We acknowledge that we have a number of skilled athletes who trial for these representative teams and we strive to give opportunity during trials for students to demonstrate their skills.
  • Once teams have been chosen, they will aim to have at least one training session each week before a competition.

Individual Sport Trials for Primary CSSA and CIS Teams (NOT GPCC teams)

These trials are not for GPCC school teams that we trial for here at school to play at certain gala days throughout the year (as mentioned above). The CSSA or CIS trials are usually held in Sydney and students will be trialling against students from either other Christian Schools (CSSA) or other Independent Schools (CIS) and are usually recommended for those students that compete at a representative level.

Please email Mr McSwan before these Nomination dates if your child (YEARS 5 AND 6 ONLY) would like to be considered. They need to be currently playing in the sport and have several years’ experience (preferably at a Representative level): Parents are required to transport students to and from these trials.

CSSA and CIS Sport trial dates: Please note these are not for GPCC school teams.

TERM 2

Wednesday 19 June: CIS Primary Rugby Union Trials #1 (select students) - Nominations close Wednesday 12 June

    CSSA State Cross Country

    Last Friday 31 May, 32 students represented GPCC at the CSSA State Cross Country Carnival.

    The students showed great courage and determination in the way they ran; many of them achieving personal best results. All events were strongly contested and had large fields of competitors. It was a challenging course with a mix of terrain. Some of the students ran so well that they qualified to compete at the NSWCIS (Combined Independent Schools) Championships. Of the 32 students that competed, 15 made it through to the NSWCIS Championships:

    12 Years Girls: Lara B – 6th place

    13 Years Boys: Levi S – 9th place

    13 Years Boys Team: came 1st and will compete at NSWCIS:

    (Levi S, M D, Noah W and Xavier W)

    13 Years Girls: Alexandra H – 11th place

    14 Years Boys: Jason P – 7th place

    14 Years Girls: Quinn L – 3rd place

    16 Years Boys: Jonathon L – 2nd place

    16 Years Boys Team came 1st and will compete at NSWCIS:

    (Jonathon L, Tyson S, Zaid A G and Charlie M)

    17 Years Boys: Henry C – 5th place, Caleb N – 8th place

    18 Years Boys: Daniel d L – 6th place

    Congratulations to all of our competitors and all the best with training for future carnivals.

    CIS CROSS COUNTRY

    Well done to our 12 representatives at Secondary CIS cross country on Thursday 6 June. In challenging, cold, slippery conditions at Sydney’s International Equestrian Centre at Horsley Park they all ran there best and achieved admirable results (below). In running fields of around 80 athletes these students pushed themselves as much as they could and all completed their course. Special thanks to all the parents for transporting their children to and from the venue.
